Post Subject: PP2000Posted by Bill on: 3/15/2010

It's my system that Romy discussed above. I've been fighting electricity problems for 25 years using everything from home generators to multiple 3 KV isolation transformers in series with banks of caps, to multi mega-buck high end audio products to large AC-DC-AC convertors. This unit was a revelation as to what my system is capable of. Romy's ears adjusted the crossovers to optimal sound output before putting in the unit, but those changes were nothing compared to what the PP2000 did for my system. The only problem was the inability of the unit to power my Crown macro reference amp powering the subwoofers. As soon as the subwoofers kicked in, the unit shut itself off ( not exploded) and it took about a minute or two for the protective device to cycle. Considering that the rest of the stereo channels' equipment and sources pull about 15 amps, I was not surprised that the unit couldn't control the Crown. My only question now is whether a separate pp2000 can, considering that the Crown can pull 1500 watts on peaks.
Hopefully I'll be able to get a second unit while Romy's is here to see if the entire system can be powered by two to completely isolate from the wall, as the system did sound better for the 30 seconds that everything including the Crown ran through the pp2000.
